Core offering

RDP Development provides full-scope commercial real estate development management services across the entire project lifecycle, from opportunity identification and qualification, through land acquisition, project design, entitlement, and construction administration. The company develops build-to-suit and speculative industrial/logistics distribution facilities, business parks, and corporate facilities for enterprise clients and institutional investors, operating either as Managing Principal of Single Purpose Entities (SPE) or as Development Manager for third-party ownership under Development Management Agreements (DMA).

Product overview

RDP Development offers a comprehensive suite of commercial real estate development services through a unified service platform, rather than discrete software products. Their core service offerings span the entire development lifecycle: Development & Land Opportunity Identification, Land Acquisition, Project Design Phase Management, Project Entitlement Phase Management, and Construction Phase Management. These services support both build-to-suit and speculative commercial real estate projects, with particular expertise in industrial/logistics distribution facilities, multi-building business parks, and corporate facilities for clients such as FedEx, Cox Communications, and United Health Group. The company has developed over 6.6 million square feet of buildings across 436+ acres valued at over $790 million.
